Summary: Another great work by Mr. Wilson
Comment: Even though Federal Husband is not Mr Wilsons best book, it is another great book truly seeking to what the BIBLE says about a man's role. Mr Wilson urges his readers to love their wives as themselves and helps the reader understand what a biblical home will look like. Mr. Wilson always works from scripture and attempts to expound upon all the impacts that will have on our lives. However, at some times he says that one must know that Paul calls all things permissable for believers but not all things are benficial. He attempts to explain what things are profitable. Mr Wilson is extremely conservative and fully relies on the innerancy of the scriptures. I would recomend this book only after having read some of Mr. Wilson's other books. Infedility is his best book, in my honest opinion.

Summary: organic wisdom to be applied here
Comment: As an avid reader of books produced by Canon Press, I have encountered Pastor Wilson on many occasions, much to my pleasure. What Federal Husband purports to be is a glance at how a husband must mold his thoughts and actions if he wishes to love his wife as Christ loves the church. What in fact we get from Pastor Wilson's book is an exhaustive work that says everything that needs to be said on the subject and leaves no further questions for his audience. If Aquinas was exhaustive in his approach with his Summa Theologica, then Pastor Wilson gives us his Summa Federalis Husbanditum. No longer is there any need to read anything else by Wilson or any other author who writes on the family.
I have taken his writing to heart and put it into practice. First of all, I don't let my wife read it. That would obviously be against what the Bible and Pastor Wilson teaches. I also keep my wife buttoned up in the house, changing our kids diapers, cooking all my meals, and meeting me between the sheets when I'm feeling froggy. This way I never have to help her with the woman's work and can stick to my eight hour work day and come home and relax. It has all worked out quite well. We have well-adjusted children and a marriage that is just dynamite ... and I haven't really had to lift a finger!

Summary: Not All Christians are Alike!
Comment: After reading the reviews accompanying this book,other than the review just following mine, I feel compelled to respond. It is crucial for prospective buyers to realize that the teachings espoused in this work do NOT represent those of mainstream Protestant or Anabaptist (those who believe in Baptism as adults, after conversion or confirmation) theology. ... The reviewers,..., of the author put forth the view that this book teaches husbands how to love their wives as Christ loved the church...that being, sacrificially. No no no! Rather, the book Federal Husband is just as scarey as its title suggests! I know several young husbands who follow the teachings of this author's "denomination"; in reality, Mr. Wilson teaches men and women to cling to extremely rigid role definitions which preclude husbands from having anything to do with the raising of children, from helping their wives around the home, etc. Women are to change ALL the diapers, care for the children solely, and are not allowed to work outside the home! Men call all the shots regarding sexual activity within the marriage and women are to "take care of their men doing whatever they want whenever they want" This is truly frightening stuff! In fact, the women in Mr. Wilson's "church" are NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO READ HIS BOOK!! Does this tell us anything?... Jesus certainly never referred to himself with anything even close to "Federal"...God's love is not about control and holding hostage.
